Schaafheim's evangelical church and the parsonage alongside
Henri Proust has just become acquainted with Herr Wolfgang Roth, who is the archivist of the German town of Schaafheim, the town twinned with Richelieu since 1989. He has sent all sorts of information so that Henri P. can do some posts on the subject of the twinned towns on this blog. Citoyens de Richelieu have just been visiting Schaafheim and we will see those French faces look out in photographs from a very German context, the annual Schaafheimes Weihnachtsmarkt.
The Abbé had earlier noticed a German beer tent at the Richelieu Marché de Noël, and was puzzled that the little town of Richelieu was of such interest to the German brewers. Now all is explained. I wonder if the gute Bürger von Schaafheim are, in reflection, a hot spot for AOC Chinon consumption. One presumes so.
But all the data is in the German language, so the good Abbé, right in the middle of his other Christmas duties, has to dust off his German/English dictionary and get down to it. Nose to the grindstone.
Coming SOON.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Joyeux fêtes!
